Crescendo - Winter Stations Design Competition Submission

The Winter Stations Design Competition called for submissions that reimagined the lifeguard stations of Toronto’s beaches into base structures for temporary winter installations. Our submission, entitled “Crescendo”, operated as a megaphone for the public to amplify any sound made within the structure, be it from recorded sound, live instrumentation, nature or human voices. “Crescendo” took inspiration from the form of the musical notation crescendo, and utilized interior space with the objective of increasing intensity of sound and heat.
